I believe that if the Tribune company ever tries to close down Wrigley Field that you will have a protest from every corner of the globe.

We have a problem with any labels that people try to hang on us, because all it does is drag you down.

My mother and I parting company at four years old is a recurring theme although it's not symbolically necessarily present, it's present in all my relationships.

Image
Everybody I'm working with now is a friend. And I would be very, very remiss to work with anybody in the future who has not shown me who they really are.

In the music business I am surrounded by people who don't view music as a sacred voice. They view music as something that they can use and exploit, often times lazily. They have no sense of the tradition, they have no sense of honor about those who came before and charted the path.

The great thing about rock n' roll is, if you want to fight - like, fight the system, fight the man, fight the government, fight the people in front of you - it's Don Quixote all over again. You're really chasing windmills.

A good artist is willing to die many times over. What's funny is, I've died so many times.
Billy Corgan

Like any form of death, at some point you just have to get up and say yeah I'll take it, whatever's gonna happen is gonna happen and sorta chop your head off. It's easy to avoid all that...there's always another moment, another girl, another high, another drug, there's always something to distract you.
